Wife Can't Escape

Chapter 71

Zhao Nanyu squeezed the hairpin she had handed to him. The other end of the silver hairpin was sharp, and it was easy to pierce a person's throat with it. In a low voice, he asked, "When did you discover it?"

Song Luan slowly said, "It didn't take long for me to guess." She smiled, and looked relaxed, "I'm too uncomfortable. Please help me."

Zhao Nanyu hugged her tighter, refusing to let her go from his arms. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't."

As expected, Song Luan had long guessed that he would not agree, she only sighed and said nothing.

She had other plans, but Zhao Nanyu seemed to know all her thoughts since long ago. All the sharp objects around Song Luan were put away, not giving her any chance to die.

In fact, Song Luan was very timid and afraid of pain. She didn't have enough courage to commit suicide. However, the pain in her heart made her toss and turn, and there wasn't a moment where she was comfortable. The desire for relief gave her the courage to die.

She rummaged through all corners of the cabinet, but could not find anything that could be used to kill herself. Song Luan sat on the ground with disheveled hair and a dispirited expression.

When Zhao Nanyu came in, she took the initiative to put her hand around his neck, gave him a kiss on his face, and said in a low voice, "Don't you love me? I'm begging you."

Zhao Nanyu was indifferent, carried her back to bed, and covered her with a quilt. He looked at her eyes and asked, "What would you like to eat tonight?"

Song Luan was like a disinflated balloon. In the past two days, Zhao Nanyu deliberately refused to talk about it. She kicked aside the quilt and said, "I don't want to eat. I'll starve to death."

Starvation was also a way to die, but it was not very respectable.

"Didn't you want to eat roast duck last time? Let's eat this tonight."

While touching her hair, he said, "But you can't eat it when it's too hot, or you will not be able to stand it."

Song Luan swallowed very hopelessly.

As Zhao Nanyu tried everything possible, Song Luan's body did not see a slight improvement, and it decayed more and more. She could not sleep without relying on the tranquilizing soup, but if she drank the medicine, she often could not wake up easily.

Once, Song Luan had slept for a full day and had not woken up. At that time, Zhao Nanyu's face was extremely ugly. He shook her hand and probed her nose. Fortunately, she still had a faint breath.

After this happened, he wouldn't let Song Luan drink tranquilizing soup.

Zhao Chao sent medicine to relieve the pain. For the first time, Song Luan was surprised to find that it didn't hurt much.

But Zhao Nanyu didn't seem to be very happy either. This medicine couldn't cure it at all, and its effectiveness was limited. If it was used too much, it would gradually not work, and the power of the side effect was also great.

***

As spring was about to pass, Zhao Wenyan's wedding date arrived as promised.

Song Luan ordered someone to dress her up, especially putting on beautiful new clothes. The delicate makeup covered her tired face. Zhao Nanyu didn't want her to join in the event, but Song Luan refused. She was rarely so happy, so he turned a blind eye.

Zhao's residence had not been so lively for a long time. Many guests came to the wedding day.

After the ceremony, the bride was led to the bridal chamber.
